The Como Motel, Richardson, Texas, 48 x 60 inches, oil on canvas, 2018. I grew up less than a mile from this motel. Built in 1964, it is located on the east side of Central Expressway sandwiched between Pappadeaux restaurant and a Ferrari dealership. I'm guessing this old motel is living on borrowed time which is why I wanted to put it down on canvas before someone comes along and puts it down with a wrecking ball.

My first thought when asked about having my work in a BBQ restaurant was no. But when I saw and heard what Preston Evans and his team at Ten50 BBQ were doing, I jumped at the opportunity. This is not your typical BBQ joint - it is a beautifully executed restaurant space with clean lines and room to breath visually. It is a very tasteful take on the normally cluttered BBQ eatery. I am very happy to be a part of what is going on at Ten50! - Thank you Preston Evans for asking me to come along for the ride! - And thank you William Weisiger (manager at Ten50) for your hospitality!
